The effect of intervertebral cartilage on neutral posture and range of motion in the necks of sauropod dinosaurs [PDF]

, 2013
The necks of sauropod dinosaurs were a key factor in their evolution. The habitual posture and range of motion of these necks has been controversial, and computer-aided studies have argued for an obligatory sub-horizontal pose.

Functional outcome following direct repair or intervertebral fusion for adolescent spondylolysis : a systematic review [PDF]

, 2012
A systematic review of the literature was performed to establish whether direct repair of the pars defect or intervertebral fusion achieves better Oswestry Disability Index scores in adolescent spondylolysis or low-grade spondylolisthesis.

Does core mobility of lumbar total disc arthroplasty influence sagittal and frontal intervertebral displacement? Radiologic comparison with fixed-core prosthesis [PDF]

SAS Journal, 2009
An artificial disc prosthesis is thought to restore segmental motion in the lumbar spine. However, it is reported that disc prosthesis can increase the intervertebral translation (VT). The concept of the mobile-core prosthesis is to mimic the kinematic effects of the migration of the natural nucleus and therefore core mobility should minimize the VT ...

Dynamic Lumbosacral Magnetic Resonance Imaging in a Dog with Tethered Cord Syndrome with a Tight Filum Terminale [PDF]

, 2017
A 1-year and 11-month- old English Cocker Spaniel was evaluated for clinical signs of progressive right pelvic limb lameness and urinary incontinence. Neurological examination was suggestive of a lesion localized to the L4–S3 spinal cord segments.

The Effect of Degenerative Changes on the Stressed State of the Intervertebral Disc and Adjacent Tissues: A Finite Element Study

Applied Sciences
The work presents a finite element analysis of the mechanical interaction of adjacent tissues in degenerative conditions of the intervertebral disc. To address this, we developed a three-dimensional finite element model that included the L1–L2 vertebrae,

Research on the influence of the properties of intervertebral disc stiffness of the lumbar spine on the displacement of veretbrae

Mokslas – Lietuvos ateitis / Science – Future of Lithuania, 2015
The article proposes the method for evaluating angular and linear changes in intervertebral discs of the spine depending on linear and nonlinear intervertebral disc stiffness. A dynamic made of 5 solid bodies connected by damping and stiffness components and applied for 2-D 10 degrees of freedom of the lumbar spine has been used for calculations.
